Anime: Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler

Pairings: CielxSebastian... Oh~! I think these next chapters would have a one sided CielxClaude...(Don't worry SebaCiel fans it's just one sided, Ciel would never betray Sebastian... For me... and you...)

Summary: Just read the ~Prologue~

Warnings: This contains YAOI which means boyxboy ( In future Chapters )... Ciel here is about decades or maybe a century old however, he still appears like a child. So to some people it might feel uncomfortable if he and Sebastian have a relationship so I'm just warning you people! This fic may or may not also contain lemon ( I'm still having second thoughts though... )

Has OCs... and maybe a bit OoC for Ciel and Sebastian cause, it's been years since they both had their former lives as Master and Servant so, surely there'd be changes...

Disclaimer: I do not own this anime nor do I profit in anyway while writing this fanfiction... It is a FANfiction... I only own Hellene and Collette...

Note: This fic is set about a century or maybe just a few decades after season 2 so people like Elizabeth, Ciel servants and other humans showcased in the original anime would be dead by the time the story starts. Of course character like Grell, Undertaker and other non-human beings will still be alive so I might put them in later chapters... There'd be OCs but I really didn't mean to put them there into a spot light position since I'm not really a fan of them myself but since I needed them to make sense of the story here they are...

Oh guyz (Xx~~~xX) means the start and end of a flashback...

And also (...) means a time skip... Don't forget!


~Chapter 7~

"When will that be?"

~XxX~

Claude Faustus, as he still is known with that name, has waited (im)patiently all these years. Silently and restlessly, crawling from the shadow on guard and ready to strike at anytime. It has been decades –maybe even a century, it was hard to tell while you were cooped up on the same place for years- since that damn Michaelis supposedly killed him.

He spent years reviving his body and regenerating from the wound that was inflicted to his demonic body. Years of enduring his hunger for souls while that scum feast and never gets hungry. Years of torture and pain. He almost reached his limit but… no.

Not just yet.

It was a good thing Hanna revived him before he was truly gone… Now he can exact his revenge. Ciel Phantomhive may no longer have his soul however he would have admit that he was still as fascinated with the boy as he once was. In addition to that, Sebastian has somehow developed a strong attachment to him –one that he cannot understand or put his finger on.

He may be weakened but that does not mean he is utterly useless. And once everything is in place he would finally achieve what he was longing for all this time.

"With one last piece to arrange,

The chessboard would be now in place".

~XxX~

"I was so worried when I didn't see you next to me this morning, sister!" the younger sister exclaimed.

"I get it, I'm sorry I worried you." the older smiled.

Breakfast passed on without much event and now the guests of the manor were drinking tea on the small pavilion located in the estate's manor. It was a bright and sunny day. It was peaceful and quiet. Yet, for Sebastian it feels lonely and dull.

He had a long reflection of his life with Ciel during their contract and when Ciel became a demon. He also thought of the incident he so dreaded. The worst part is he hurt his master and what if… what if he was never able to wake up.

Never.

When was the right time? Will it ever come? What if there was not a 'right time'?

"Um, Mister Sebastian? Did you inform my aunt about our stay?" Helene asked a bit reluctant of breaking the butler's train of thought. He has been spacing-out a lot since this morning after their discussion. Although he was composed in the outside, the red-head can't help but feel that he was somewhat bothered by something.

"Oh, I have. I also informed them that you would be on your way on the day after tomorrow." he replied calmly.

"The day after tomorrow? Why not tomorrow instead?" she asked skeptical. She knew that they had an agreement but that did not stop her from doubting the demon.

"There seems to be a storm approaching and it is expected to strike later at night fall and would not end until tomorrow at dusk which is no proper time to start your journey seeing as the town is quite a distance to travel."

"How do you know that there is a storm fast approaching, it's quite sunny today don't you think?"

"We shall see later on. Although, I'm quite confident with my own instincts, after all I'm just one hell of a butler." he smirked.

Hours passed and it indeed started to silently drizzle and later on it turned in to a raging storm and once again the manor enveloped in the storm.

It was quiet. Too quiet.

Hellene spent her time in Ciel Phantomhive's room. Her sister was exploring the mansion's vast library –at a young age she was very interested with books. And Sebastian busied himself with some household chores.

She did not know what she expected to achieve in staying in the room as she found herself useless even after she heard the butler's story. It was absolutely tragic and she just realized that she was quite a lucky fellow to still have her family. Sure, their parents are not here but at least they're alive.

She felt a surge of pity towards the butler and his sleeping master.

Sigh…

"I would be delighted to meet you, Ciel Phantomhive…"

Knock, knock…

Oh! Had she fallen asleep?

"Come in." she invited sluggishly. What time was it? She glanced at the window. It was dark and it was raining like crazy. The door opened but she payed no attention to the one who walked inside.

"Dinner is served, My Lady." he bowed.

"Thank you…" she smiled. She had to admit the butler was truly exquisite at his role. They walked out of the room when she noticed that the butler seemed tense.

"Is something the matter?" she asked.

"No, it's nothing… I just feel like something is going to happen however I'm not quite sure, I might just be paranoid." he said brushing the subject off.

"Oh~! Whatever happened to your confidence with your instincts?" Helene teased.

The demon scoffed as he rolled his eyes.

~XxX~

"Ah, Ciel Phantomhive. I see you're still as beautiful as ever." Claude praised while caressing the boy's porcelain cheek. He was successfully able to infiltrate the manor, undetected.

It worked! Every piece was put into proper order and slipping in was a piece of cake.

He scooped Ciel up in bridal-style fashion and left a note on top of the king-sized bed. He gracefully walked to the window and broke it with as much noise as he could possibly muster breaking a window, careful not to damage his cargo. Claude then escaped the manor without being caught, he ran inhumanly fast that no mortal eye could detect his presence.

~XxX~

Crash

"What was that?!" the sisters shouted, startled. But before they were able to ask the butler, he was gone. With nothing much to do to feed their growing curiosity, they bolted out towards the noise.

Once they reached a corridor, Hellene immediately realized where the noise came from… That room…

Ciel Phantomhive's room…

And when they reached the room they were greeted by the sight of Sebastian clutching a note with an outraged expression. That surely was a sight different from his usual cool demeanor. And to his side it was…

Gasp!

An empty bed…

~XxX~

'What the bloody hell was that?' the butler thought to himself as he ran past the rooms of the manor.

"I came from Ciel's room! It can't be, can it? Is he awake once again?" Sebastian thought full of excitement and expectation. He can finally apologize for his insolence and hopefully get pardon. He would be able to talk, serve and walk along his master's side once again. If his master wished for him to leave his side he would still look after him even from afar.

He thought of how ironic he felt but didn't really feel bothered by it. All that matters is that he was there, his master was there once again and they will never be apart ever again.

But… when he reached the entrance to the room… There was nothing. His master wasn't there anymore. He wasn't awake.

No.

He was gone… missing and nowhere to be found.

Instead of Ciel's body all he found was a note saying:

I have set the stage for our last and final act.

Let our game of chess, once again, begin.

This time It'll be our second and final Danse Macabre.

The last one who stands will be able to see our dear Lord Phantomhive alive once again.

"That damn Faustus…"


AWW~! Poor Sebby-chan! Grr... Damn you Claude! Wait I' am Claude in cosplays and roleplaying (and Ciel~!)... Okay so I was cursing myself... Awkward. Well anyways~ I have awesome news for you guyz! . Okay drum roll please!...

Dun. Dun. DUUUN~!

I'm making a cover for this very fanfic! Yes, yes... I know what you're thinking!

"She said she's always busy!"

"I thought she didn't have time?"

Well those are all true! But I guess I couldn't help but do it! I drew it myself! And right now I'm painting it using "SAI Painting Tool"! It's kinda hard 'coz it's my first time using it, but I'll do my best! So far it's been going on great! If I'll be able to finish it earlier, then the next chapter might have a very early update too! So look forward to it!

Okay, so what to expect on the next chapter?

Possessive yaoi characters, a pervy Claude, a jealous Sebastian, a dolled up Ciel, and an awesomely epic battle scene (I think...)! See you guyz on the next chapter!

Ja ne~!
